Abstract
The value system of the individual and society is formed through a complex and dynamic process shaped by cultural features, experienced historical events, education, and other factors. The paper identifies youth as a key player in the process that actively transforms existing social norms and standards of behavior. The study identifies the value priorities of contemporary Russian youth in the context of the active digitalization of society. The paper reports the results of a survey of young people receiving higher education and applicants attending open-door events. The results are grouped according to personal values, including attitudes to traditions, the expression of independence, and engagement in activities to achieve results and communication, and analyzed in the framework of the research’s political, consumer, and ethical orientation. The study concludes that changes in young people’s value systems need to be investigated to develop a relevant and effective social policy.
